Two Rivers Records was founded in 2015 and defied industry expectations with its growth. The label has expanded from hand-delivering discs to independent music shops in London to planning around 15 releases for 2016.

Founder Alya Marquardt is the driving force behind the success of Two Rivers. Born in Iraq and raised in Tottenham, North London, Alya is recognised as an artist in her own right as well as a label head. Her ability to link her music interests – classical, jazz and the folk music of her heritage – has earned her significant critical acclaim as a performer and since the release of her debut album in February 2015.

Two Rivers Records releases contemporary classical, jazz and alternative world music. It is becoming the home of the very best new and emerging artists to share their music, uncompromised, with the world.
